INFORMATION BULLETIN ON VARIABLE STARS Number 3459 Konkoly Observatory Budapest 9 May 1990 HU ISSN 0374 - 0676 Commission 27 Report 1987-1990 The Commission 27 report, to be published in the next volume of the IAU Transactions, will contain summaries of the scientific developments during the last three years. These summaries provide one of the best means for the astronomer inside and outside the field to find out about new results and discoveries. A number of active researchers in the various subfields have been chosen (and have kindly agreed) to write the reports. These reports are traditionally based on literature searches. In addition, all active workers in the field are invited to send preprints and brief summaries of recent results directly to the relevant co-outhors listed below. These should be received by August 1. Topic Author General, Archives M. Breger Information Bulletin B. Szeidl & L. Szabados General Catalog Var. Stars N. N. Samus Cepheids E.
